[Thread] So, hubby did some research and discovered that an odious #SiliconValley group [#OpenPhilanthropy] has been bashing #Hannaford. While #HannafordSupermarkets aren't perfect, they are very inclusive and welcoming to #GBLTQ folks, donate #Food to #FoodBanks, and make sure any #FoodWaste becomes #compost or #AgroEnergy.

"Open Philanthropy, previously called the #OpenPhilanthropyProject, is a left-of-center funding group founded in 2016 by political donor #CariTuna and Facebook co-founder #DustinMoskovitz. It is the sister fundraising organization of the Open Philanthropy Action Fund (#OPAF), a nonprofit advocacy group.

The similarly named Open Philanthropy Project Fund (#OPPF) is a donor-advised fund associated with the Open Philanthropy Project and hosted by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation."

Every Hannaford store participates in Fresh Rescue, donating quality food to local pantries. We call that caring for people and the planet.

#Hannaford says no food waste from any of its stores will be sent to #landfills anymore

Hannaford said it partnered with Agri-Cycle, a food waste recycling company based in Scarborough, to turn food unsuitable for human & animal consumption into #energy.

By Griffin Stockford, April 20, 2021

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — "Hannaford on Tuesday announced that each of its 183 stores donates or diverts all food at risk of going to waste, sending no food at all to landfills.

Hannaford said in a release that it achieved the milestone with a "multi-pronged approach focused on first preventing #FoodWaste through strategic product ordering and management at the store level."
